Coincidences missed

I realized and wanted to nite thethought that removing all the unexplained evidence from my life makes me unhappy and that perhaps not being able to explain the million and one little coincidences makes my life feel better. Sure, I realize that it may have been extremely deluded but, I prefer it that way. My little life descision comes from the results of only acknowledging the things I can explain. The best way to examine it it through a stargate atlantis episode where the SGA team asks a boy who is preparing for a suicide because of his age if it is worth it for him to never live longer than 25.The team explains just a few of the grandest moments of life that occurr after the age of 25. The boy thinks then explains that it is better to live a shorter life if it means one without the fear of being attacked by life-sucking alliens. The premise is that if they do not livebeyond the age of 25 they will never be of interest to the attackers.

In the end the belief was found to be false, but the truth remains that a certain type seems better than a longer life. Likewise, I found that a life of hope is likely ignorant but ignorance is bliss and I choose happiness and magicalness over rejecting what I do not comprehend. As analgebra teacher explained, "the more we learn the more ignorant we become."
